I was looking at the entries for Phillips Island and saw several GS1168 motors. At the end of this year, I'm switching to a GS1100. I run an external oil cooler. What else is critical to keeping these motors alive in a sidecar?

Big bore air-cooled motors in sidecars?

Yeah, he might do, but we all know that our sidecar guys are know-it-alls and know all that there is to know about sidechairs.

We think it was actually a piston which let go intially and then put a rod out the front, but the guy riding it used to adjust the rev limiter depending on how hard he thought we'd need to rev it

Are they allowed to be dry sumped in P3? That'd take care of the cooling, no?

You've probably tried to blank it from your memory but I can remember Neil Freeman doing it to you in real life at Pukekohe, must have been about 2002Now that's just mean!

there is definitely no difference in sidecar people on different continents
How about I ask this way
do you run oil coolers and if so what size cooler and hoses?
do you do anything special for airflow around the motor? extra ducts?
does anyone track cylinder head temp or oil temp? if so, how hot does it get?
btw, I trashed my first motor when I forgot to test the rev limiter after installing it ... until I missed a shift

You're a sick, sick man for having that in your memory banks......

It is very hard to block out, drugs and alcohol help though

They run way too hot even in a solo, interestingly with virtually no ill effects whatsoever really.
However, run the biggest oil cooler you can fit on it. When installing an oil cooler to an 1100 engine you must run an 1150 oil filter cover, otherwise the oil wont flow as pressure will be equal in both sides of the cooler.
Run GS750 oil pump gears, the different ratio runs the oil pump faster with obvious benifits.
Also, methanol is a good idea to keep engine temp down if it is behind a big fairing.
You will never need to dry sump the engine as the roller bearing bottom end is oblivious to a bit of oil surge.
In short, they are a bloody great sidecar engine!!
If you want any bits, get in touch with these guys, you wont even lose 20% on your dollar when you deal with them.
